of loudspeakers. Engineered to the same high standards, the A12 provides deep, rich bass and smooth
highs as a complement to other NEAR loudspeakers.
The A12 is a high-power speaker that projects well in far-field applications as well as in more intimate settings.
A built-in transformer means one speaker will work with 70V or 16-ohm systems. Dual metal-alloy mid/bass
drivers and a Mylar high-frequency compression driver combine to minimize distortion and
provide precise sound reproduction at any volume level.

From gold-plated input connectors to the patented Metal Diaphragm Technology (MDT) used in the two
6-1/2" drivers, all components of the A12 are designed with the goal of providing outstanding reliability and
performance for years down the road - without compromising top-quality sound. Even the woofer frames and
exterior housing have been designed to maximize sound quality and durability.
